Study Notes
Acute Inflammation
- Rapid onset, typically within minutes or hours.
- Predominant cell type is neutrophils.
- Usually mild and self-limiting, resolving on its own.
- Prominent local and systemic signs (e.g., redness, swelling, pain).
Chronic Inflammation
- Slower onset, developing over days.
- Characterized by infiltration of monocytes, macrophages, and lymphocytes.
- Potential for significant tissue injury and fibrosis.
- Local and systemic signs are often less pronounced.
Acute Inflammation
- Onset: Rapid, occurring within minutes to hours.
- Cellular Infiltrate: Dominated by neutrophils.
- Tissue Injury and Fibrosis: Typically mild and self-limiting.
- Local and Systemic Signs: Prominent, including redness, swelling, warmth, pain, and possible fever.
Chronic Inflammation
- Onset: Slow, developing over days.
- Cellular Infiltrate: Characterized by monocytes, macrophages, and lymphocytes.
- Tissue Injury and Fibrosis: Can be severe and progressive, leading to tissue destruction and fibrosis.
- Local and Systemic Signs: Less prominent than in acute inflammation.
